If you've waited for big drops on some of the biggest recent games, now's the time to jump.

Update, June 27: New discounts on PS5 consoles added below.
While the 2024 EOFY sales are pretty much over as of July 2, most of the big PS5 game discounts are still valid, making it one of the best EOFY periods for a while, despite a slow start.
While the sales event kicked off in a muted fashion, by mid June it had somewhat picked up. The list of discounted games below has grown, and perhaps most significantly, the PS5 console itself is going for cheap (AU$668 for the disc model; AU$649 for the digital). Still, things cost more in general in 2024, and PS5 games aren't receiving the steep discounts you'd normally expect at this time of year.
We wrote about Dragon's Dogma 2 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth getting huge new discounts last month week (and those still apply at AU$69 and AU$69 respectively) but now Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora have both also received record discounts. You can grab Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for AU$44 at the moment, while Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora can be had for AU$49 (down from AU$53 earlier in the week). Both have recommended retail prices of AU$109.95.
Check out the list below for the best PS5 deals going during EOFY:
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PlayStation 5) | AU$109.95 AU$44 (save AU$65.95)
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is probably the best singleplayer Star Wars game of the century so far (though it has Star Wars Outlaws breathing down its neck). In our Star Wars: Jedi Survivor review we gave the sequel 4.5 stars, writing that "Cal's new adventure is a mature, twisting narrative that establishes a new group of heroes and challenges what a modern Star Wars story can be."
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PlayStation 5) | AU$109.95 AU$49 (save AU$52.95)
Frontiers of Pandora may not have been the most groundbreaking title from a gameplay perspective, but it's an absolute graphical powerhouse, with some of the lushest, most captivating open worlds available on PlayStation. In his review, Leon wrote that it's "a decent, if unspectacular take, on an alien Far Cry that uses its source material well to create an engaging world to explore."
Dragon's Dogma 2 Lenticular Edition for PS5 | AU$99 AU$69 at Amazon (save AU$30)
Capcom's long-awaited follow-up to the cult PS3-era RPG was very well received upon release back in March, even if it did feel like a fairly safe modernisation on the original. If you're looking for an open world fantasy RPG that rewards quick thinking, improvisation, and (most importantly) dragon climbing, Dragon's Dogma 2 is probably the best thing going this side of Baldur's Gate 3.
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth (PlayStation 5) | AU$119.95 AU$69
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a huge and gorgeous RPG of baffling size and scope. To put it more crudely: this AU$79 for around 100 hours of content means you're paying roughly 79 cents per hour. What a time to be alive. If you've yet to play the first in the trilogy (Rebirth is the second), that's currently going for AU$61.49.
Also discounted:
- Assassin's Creed Mirage |
AU$79.95AU$36 (save AU$43.95) - Final Fantasy XVI |
AU$79AU$54.95 (save AU$24.95) - Granblue Fantasy: Relink |
AU$89.95AU$45 (save AU$44.95) - Hogwarts Legacy |
AU$109.95AU$57 (save AU$52.95) - Mortal Kombat 1 |
AU$109.95AU$57 (save AU$52.95) - Spider-Man 2 |
AU$124.95AU$79 (save AU$45.95) - Tekken 8 |
AU$119.95AU$70 (save AU$40.95)
While all of the above listed are at their lowest recorded price, of those we reckon the Dragon's Dogma 2 deal is probably the best. Why? Because normally it takes a while for a game to get so drastically discounted; to pick up one of the year's best RPGs at such a cheap price, only a couple of months after release, is a bargain.
Still, if you're after bang-for-your-buck, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a good cheap option. It vastly improves on its predecessor, and will, of course, please anyone who can't get enough of the interminable space battle.
